NFL PLAYER SETTLES WITH FIANCEE AFTER LEAVING HER AT THE ALTAR

San Antonio Spurs forward Richard Jefferson has given ex-fiancee Kesha Ni'Cole Nichols a six-figure settlement to help her move on after his last minute wedding cancellation, the New York Post reports.

Jefferson ended his five-year relationship with Nichols shortly after a tense Fourth of July weekend by sending her an e-mail reportedly about two hours before the wedding.

Jefferson said he chose to break up with her via e-mail because "sometimes you might write an e-mail to get your thoughts down right."

On Wednesday the Post reported that the cancellation was not in time to prevent guests from showing up, and Jefferson gave friends his American Express card to use for an evening of entertainment.

THE NAKED AD FOR THE T.O. SHOW

Terrell Owens as you all probably know has his own reality television show coming on VH1. When I got my Essence Magazine this month with the very fine Idris Elba on the front, I didn't think I would see the above ad. Im speechless!!

NAS STRIKES BACK AT KELIS

Nas insists he doesn't have as much money as Kelis has claimed.

The rapper is furious with his estranged wife - who is pregnant with the couple's first child - after she filed expenses records with a Los Angeles court to get support from Nas and alleged his last record deal was worth $11 million.

So he has now filed papers of his own, in which he claims: "I did not receive even half that amount."

He added the fee was closer to $4 million and his earnings are dwindling all the time.

On average, Nas claims he is making $147,165 a month, but $70,000 of that is used to pay monthly bills, including $10,000 for clothing and hair maintenance.

Kelis - whose son is due on July 21 - had asked her estranged husband for $20,000 towards the cost of "purchasing strollers, cribs and other baby supplies" for their two homes.

She is also seeking additional funds to pay for a baby nurse, nanny and other staff.

However, Nas - who wants to be "fully involved" in the upbringing of their child - thinks $5,000-a-month for a newborn baby is adequate and has already agreed to pay $350 for a stroller, $450 for a baby sling and $1,598 for two cribs.

Dang Kelis. This is going to keep getting uglier and uglier. WOW! She has a baby on the way and needs to think about that.

LATOYA JACKSON saids Michael was Murdered!!

Michael Jackson's sister, LaToya Jackson, told a London newspaper she suspects her brother was "murdered" in a conspiracy by "a shadowy entourage."

Jackson cited no evidence of a murder conspiracy, Graham said, but she did tell the paper the family has seen results from the private autopsy it ordered. She would not reveal the findings, Graham said.

"I believe Michael was murdered, I felt that from the start," the paper quoted LaToya Jackson as saying. "Not just one person was involved, rather it was a conspiracy of people."

Graham said LaToya Jackson's choice of words "stopped me dead in my tracks."

"I asked her, 'Are you sure the word "murder" is what you want to use,' " Graham said. Jackson told her she chose that word purposely.

"He was surrounded by a bad circle," Graham said Jackson told her. "Michael was a very meek, quiet, loving person. People took advantage of that. People fought to be close to him, people who weren't always on his side."
